Transporting travel fences for equine use is simple when you have the right tools and know the best methods. Whether you are headed to an event, relocating your horses, or moving to a different pasture, efficiently transporting your travel fence makes sure that your horses are safely enclosed wherever you go. This guide covers the important steps on how to transport fence panels with minimal hassle.
Preparing Your Travel Fence for Transport
The first step to transporting your travel fence is to pack it properly. Most equine travel fences, such as the Travel Fence Temporary Horse Corral from Greystone, are designed for portability. These fences typically come with a carry bag, which makes them easy to handle and transport.
Before loading the fence, check that all components are clean and free of dirt or moisture. Rolling up the tape and securing it tightly prevents tangling during transport, while the carry bag keeps everything compact and ready to move.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
Your vehicle should have enough space to fit your equipment comfortably when transporting travel fences. Since most travel fences are lightweight and compact, a standard truck or SUV with ample storage space can easily accommodate the fence. For larger setups or additional equipment, a trailer may be a more suitable option.
Pack the fence in a way that prevents movement during the drive. Place the fence near the back of your vehicle and secure it with bungee cords or straps to prevent shifting that could cause damage.
Securing the Travel Fence during Transport
Once the fence is loaded, securing it properly will prevent any shifting or damage while on the road. Use durable straps or ropes to hold the fence in place. Multiple points of contact along the length of the bag help distribute pressure and prevent it from moving.
If you are transporting more than just the fence, see to it that heavier items are placed on the bottom, with the travel fence and lighter gear on top. This protects the fence from getting crushed during the trip.
Unloading and Setting Up Your Travel Fence
Once you arrive at your destination, carefully unload the travel fence. Having the fence properly secured will make it easier to remove and set up. The carry bag allows for quick unpacking, and the lightweight design means it can be moved easily by one person.
Set up the fence according to your horses’ needs, whether around a temporary pasture, a trailer, or an event space. Travel fences like the Travel Fence Temporary Horse Corral from Greystone are designed to be flexible, allowing you to quickly enclose a safe space for your horses, even in areas with trees or uneven ground.
Considerations for Long-Distance Travel
Transporting your travel fence over long distances means you should check the load periodically to make sure everything is secure and undamaged. Stop during your journey to check if the fence is still securely fastened and if no damage has occurred since you last checked. A quick inspection can prevent unnecessary repairs or delays down the line.
Wet or muddy conditions might mean packing extra tarps or protective coverings to shield the fence from weather-related damage during transport.
